"She is my grandmother," Chi Feichi did not conceal it. "She and her family seem to have taken a photo here. Are there any photos left here?"
"I see, did it start from that time..." Elizabeth's eyes seemed to disappear as she thought about her own feelings. With a clear look on her face, she imagined various scenarios of 'reincarnation' and said with a smile, "That At that time, I remember it was a little boy named Mitchell, he felt it very keenly..."
Behind, Oyamaya, Tsurumi Yoko, Sakuragi Isao and others listened silently.
Considering the conflict between the Holy See and the witch, Elizabeth paused and said, "If it were a photo of Baron Field, he probably wouldn't stay here. She invested in the most important dock in the port city for Jiang Shenyuan. Even if there were photos, she probably wouldn't. Keep it in the hotel library for safekeeping.”
"That's right..."
A man's rich voice came from the stairs. A man with gray hair combed into three-quarter parts walked down the stairs. He was wearing a finely tailored British white suit and his eyes were full of energy. He arrived next to Chi Feichi and others. , laughed heartily a few times, "If there are photos of people who have contributed to the development of Jiangshenyuan, they will be kept in the reference room of the city hall, and I will be the only one left here!"
"Mr. Motomachi, long time no see," Oyama greeted with a smile, then looked sideways at Chi Feichi and introduced, "This is the young master of our chairman's family and a group consultant..."
"I heard about it two hours ago. I am also a descendant of Baron Field, right? I am Motomachi Seizo, the owner of this toy museum and hotel," Motomachi Seizo said to Chi Feichi with a smile on his face. Introduction, he stretched out his hand towards Chi Feichi, "Tonight's dinner will be held in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. It is almost ready now. I can take you to visit here and then eat in the restaurant on the second floor. Please give me your advice. !”
"Sorry to trouble you, please give me some advice." Chi Feichi stretched out his hand and shook Motomachi Seizan's hand.
Seeing Motomachi Seizan dressed so formally, he suddenly felt that it was very reasonable for Oyamaya to change into evening clothes before coming over while staring at him.
Led by Arimoto Machi Seizo, a group of people went to the library in the hotel.
The library of this hotel is very large, with a floor height of six meters. The wooden bookshelves are filled with old books full of traces of time, which looks very spectacular. .
Motomachi Seizo found a stack of photos from the book box he had collected, and sat on the table to help Chi Feichi find the photos left by the Field family back then, "This is the one..."
Chi Feichi took the photo and looked down at the three people on it.
The photo was taken in the lobby on the first floor, where the light from the crystal chandelier reflects on the marble floor.
The woman is sitting on a luxurious chair. She has short, ear-length hair that was very popular at the time. The head and tail are slightly curled and fluffy, revealing a smooth forehead, a sharp chin, deep eyebrows, long and upward eye tails, and a shrewd look in her eyes. With a vague smile, she wears a windbreaker with a plush long collar over her long skirt. She looks bright and proud, lazy and noble.
Mitchell stood next to the woman. His facial features were familiar to him, but he had put on a formal coat. One of his hands was held by the woman, and his expression became much gentler.
The man standing behind the chair is wearing a formal dress, his hair is long and tied up casually, his face and facial features are soft in outline, there is no stubble on his face, and he is very clean, showing a gentle and elegant artist's atmosphere. He held the back of the chair with one hand and leaned forward slightly. His eyes were slightly lowered under the short hair on his forehead, and he was looking at his wife and children with a smile. Even through the photo, you could feel the gentleness and clarity in that gaze.
This was a photo that was somewhat unexpected.
Not to mention his grandfather, his description is basically the same as that of his mother. He seems to be a gentle gentleman.
However, every time Ikegana mentioned his grandmother, he always said, 'I was bullied back then,' 'It was not easy to be in that situation,' and 'My mother was just so easy to talk to.' He thought his grandmother was the kind of helpless person. A woman who is both harmful and innocent. I never expected that she would be such a queen and royal sister with the style of "If you dare to mess with me, I will kill you"...
Just looking at the photo, he didn't think anyone could bully his grandmother.
So here comes the question - is he misunderstanding his grandmother? Is she actually a person who is at odds with her appearance and is gentle and good-tempered in nature? Or maybe his mother misunderstood his grandmother, and was influenced by the aura of intimacy between mother and daughter?
Wuming, who was being hugged by Chi Feichi, looked around lazily. After seeing the photo, his eyes widened and he leaned closer to the photo, "Master, your grandmother is so beautiful."
Chi Feichi pulled Wuming back and turned to the back of the photo to look at it.
The back of the photo contains the date it was taken and the signatures of three people.
What his grandmother signed was 'AH-Field', with a free and easy font, below it was 'Michell', with a childish brushwork, and below that was the word 'Xiumei' written in Chinese characters, with an elegant brushstroke.
Some of the faded ink still retains the mood of the three people when they signed. It can be seen that at that time, the three people did not write their signatures in a rigid manner, but treated it with a relaxed mood like a parent-child game.
"How's it going? Mr. Chi," Motomachi Seizo, who was sitting opposite, said, "Is this the photo you are looking for?"
"That's right." Chi Feichi pulled Feichi back, looking up at Motomachi Seizo, and asked, "Mr. Motomachi, can I take this photo away?"
Motomachi Seizo looked at the black and gray live snake crawling on Chi Feichi's shoulder. He always felt that Chi Feichi's cold expression was tinged with hostility. It was clearly a questioning tone, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to have a " If you dare to refuse, I will kill you in the next second." He immediately sweated, "Well, since it is the descendant of the Field family who wants this photo, then of course there is no problem, but can you let me take it? What if the photos are scanned and printed with a computer and kept as a collection?”
"No problem," Chi Feichi handed the photo to Motomachi Seizo, "I will stay in Egamihara for at least three days."
Motomachi Seizo felt relieved, "Then you can pick up the photos the day after tomorrow. I'll find someone to help copy them tomorrow."
Alas, he originally wanted to say, how about keeping the original here for collection...but he was too scared.
…
At the dinner party in the evening, Elizabeth, Tsurumi Yoko, and Sakuragi Isao were also included.
These three people are all celebrities in Jiang Shenyuan. Elizabeth is still a legend who has lived for more than a hundred years. There is no restraint when eating together, but it makes the atmosphere more relaxed.
After dinner, Elizabeth smiled and invited, "Why don't you all stay in the herbal medicine house tonight?"
Motomachi Seizo: "..."
He has even reserved a room, but Ms. Elizabeth, who doesn't own a hotel, is also trying to steal someone from him?
Chi Feichi looked at Dashan Mi and the two bodyguards, "There are so many of us, are we too intrusive?"
"It doesn't matter, there are enough rooms there for everyone," Elizabeth smiled. "A few years ago, I transplanted the elder tree that was not completely burned from Sophia's house back to the herbal medicine house. After taking care of it carefully over the years, it has grown. The branches are flourishing.”
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Everyone in Egamihara knew about Sophia. Motomachi Seizo, Sakuragi Isao and several city councilors were stunned for a moment and quietly observed Elizabeth's face.
Tsurumi Ye Zi frowned worriedly, "Elizabeth..."
"It doesn't matter, those things have passed so long, people can't always live in painful memories," Elizabeth smiled and looked at Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi, "Then..."
Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi nodded decisively in agreement.
They thought that the elder tree had been burned down, but they didn't expect it to survive, so they definitely wanted to see it.
Who can resist an elder tree that they are familiar with?
That night, a group of people arrived at the herbal medicine shop.
Tsurumi Yezi helped Elizabeth walk through the hall. Just as he was about to explain the herbal garden to Chi Feichi and others, he found that Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi skillfully walked through the path and arrived under the elder tree deep in the backyard. She was completely There was no chance to lead the way or introduce them, so I could only help Elizabeth and follow the two of them.
Koizumi Anko stood in front of the elder tree, stretched out her hand to touch the trunk, looked up at the small buttery-yellow buds on the tree, turned back and smiled at Elizabeth, "It is indeed well maintained, and it is still in its original position."
When Elizabeth saw that Chi Feichi seemed to be planning to stay under the elderberry for a while, she smiled from ear to ear and said, "As long as you like it!"
Tsurumi Zizi and Sakuragi who came with him wanted to ask questions, but seeing that Elizabeth was so happy and energetic, they swallowed their words first.
After Elizabeth sent Sakuragi out, she personally arranged accommodation for the others.
Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi stayed under the tree for more than half an hour before going back to the room to rest. The next day, they followed Elizabeth and took a tour of Jiang Shenyuan's famous places.
The appearance of the buildings here has not changed much, but some places are actually a large library, some places have become schools full of modern style inside, and some places have been turned into cinemas. There are two completely different buildings inside and outside the door. Different styles, but cleverly blended together.
In the evening, after the two of them helped Elizabeth with blood transfusion, they did not stay at the herbal shop overnight. They returned to the yacht and left the remaining time to Elizabeth and Tsurumi Yezi.
Not long after dawn, Koizumi Hongzi had breakfast and dragged Chi Fei to the herbal medicine shop late. As soon as she walked into the open door, she heard Elizabeth talking to other people in the room.
"Ms. Elizabeth, I don't understand why you suddenly changed your will and handed over your accumulated wealth to two young people?"
"I have taken too much care of them, and so has the entire Montgomery family. Although I can't repay them even a ten thousandth of it, this is all I have. I think Ye Zi can also understand."
Tsurumi Yezi, who was standing nearby, smiled and nodded, "This is Elizabeth's wealth, and she has the right to decide how to deal with it."
"That's not what I meant," the old man wearing glasses looked confused, "I just wanted to say that your body looks much better, but actually..."
"Elizabeth," Chi Feichi carried Wu Ming straight into the room, walked to an empty chair and sat down, "You made your own decision without consulting us. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Old man: "..."
This attitude is really...
When facing an old Xiangrui who is more than a hundred years old, why not be polite?
